iOS 4 came out yesterday, and right after iTunes finished to install it on our iPhones we all wondered whether jailbreak was still possible. Yes, it is. Using an unofficial build of Pwangetool by Criminal90 floating around on the internet (UPDATE: official PwnageTool for iOS 4 is out) and a couple of tricks, I managed to jailbreak my iPhone 3GS and install Cydia on it. Check out the full tutorial after the break.
What you need:
- iTunes 9.2
- iPhone 3GS original iOS 4 firmware (download here)
- Custom Pwnagetool build by Criminal90 (download here) – UPDATE: Official PwnageTool 4.01 release
- iPhone 3GS running iOS 4 GM or iPhone OS 3.1.2 (mine was running a jailbroken copy of iOS 4 GM) with old bootrom. 05.13.04 baseband.
–
First, download Pwangetool and the .ipsw firmware file to your desktop. Make sure to backup your iPhone data using iTunes, such as applications and email accounts. I tried to backup iPhone folders too, but it didn’t work. Now fire up Pwnagetool.
Click Ok, you don’t want to know about jailbreak copyrights. Now click on the Expert mode button on top and select your iPhone 3GS device. Click on the giant blue arrow to continue.
Pwnagetool will start looking for the original iOS 4 file you should have downloaded to your desktop. It should take a few seconds. Once it finds the correct iOS 4 firmware, select it and confirm.
Now you have some options to configure. First, remove the custom logos: they’re ugly, and Apple’s ones are just better. As for “activate phone”, like I said we’re only trying to jailbreak an already activated iPhone 3GS running iOS 4. You don’t have to activate anything. Once you’ve done setting up, double click on Build and save the custom restore file on your desktop, then wait. Pwangetool will ask for your administrator password, so authenticate.
Now, Pwnagetool will ask you if your iPhone has ever been jailbroken and will try to put it in DFU mode. I don’t know why, but I couldn’t manage to get my iPhone in DFU mode or make Pwnagetool recognize it via USB. I guess it should be my Macbook’s fault.
Here’s how I did it (again, I was running a jailbroken iOS 4 GM): I simply connected the iPhone via USB, opened iTunes and started a “normal restore” without DFU mode. To do so, alt-click on Restore in iTunes and select the custom firmware you previously saved on your desktop. iTunes will start the restore process which should take between 5 and 10 minutes.
–
Here are a few more tips you might need to follow to achieve a perfect jailbreak process.
If you changed your Mac OS X’ hosts file to communicate with Saurik’s servers instead of Apple’s, change it again. Saurik’s servers are down at the moment of writing this, and if you don’t change the hosts file again iTunes will fail while trying to verify iOS 4.
To change the hosts file:
- right click on Finder icon in the dock and select “Go to Folder”;
- type /etc/ and click Go;
- find the hosts file and copy it to your desktop;
- double click the hosts file to open it with Text Edit;
- find the 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com string and delete it. Save;
- copy the edited file to its original location, and authenticate with your administrator password to do so. iTunes will now communicate with Apple’s servers but you’ll be able to change the hosts file at any time.
About Cydia: it’s very likely that you’ll find it empty and without sources. To set it up correctly move to Manage tab, tap on edit then Add and insert the following repo:
http://apt.saurik.com/cydia-3.7
which will add to Cydia all the most important sources, including Saurik’s and Big Boss’s ones. Some are down at the moment, by the way. (like ModMyi)
I’ve already installed a couple of apps and tweaks, and before you ask – yes, MobileSubstrate and SBSettings work on iOS 4. I’ve installed themes and toggles for SBSettings and they all work, thanks to the update Saurik pushed yesterday. Respring is also most definitely faster on iOS 4. I’ve also installed iFile and MakeItMine and they both work.
Here are the apps / tweaks that don’t work on iOS 4 though:
3G Unrestrictor
blacksn0w
CategoriesSB
Exchange Unlock
Five Column Springboard
flowchat
Infiniboard
Infinidock (being updated)
Battery Control
Cicuitous
Pkgbackup
iRealSMS
iSmart Dialer
Libhide
MobileLog
Mobile Terminal
Safari Download Manager
Snappy
StatusNotifier
ultrasn0w
Universal Search
WeatherIcon

UPDATE #1 Some users are reporting that BiteSMS, Cyntact and FiveIconDock are working on iOS 4.
UPDATE #2 Criminal90 has released a new version of his Pwnagetool mod which now includes a Cydia fix. Get it here.
UPDATE #3 PwnageTool 4.0 has been released.
UPDATE #4 Winterboard, Backgrounder and BTStack GPS are now iOS 4 compatible. Many users also reported to have successfully installed and run Categories.
UPDATE # 5 MyWi (4.0), OpenSSH and Netatalk work fine on iOS 4.
UPDATE #6: This is the official iOS 4 jailbreak compatibility list.

Thanks to this method I now have a jailbroken iPhone 3GS running iOS 4 and some must-have tweaks like SBSettings and Activator. If you have any further tips or suggestions, feel free to share in the comment section below.

@Henrik, I am not an expert in this matter but it is the third time I managed to jailbreak succecefully my iphone 3G. This time I got the same error as you, 1604 when I tried it not using the DFU mode. I went to another website for instructions (hackthatiphone – it is the one I used every time) and noticed that I wasn’t doing 3 important things. 1st – launch pnnage tool from app folder and not from the disk image window. 2nd – don’t forget to go to general settings while still in pwnage tool and follon instructions on that website I told you. 3rd – I tried using DFU mode this time. And it actually worked. I don’t know why since I am really not and expert in this computer things, but it worked. Hope to have helped. Let me know if I did.

I managed to JB and unlock my 3GS with old bootrom (359.3)to ios4 last night. I had been getting 1604 errors when I tried to restore in recovery mode until I did this. Here is the one thing I am unsure of- I don’t think I had shsh files on file with Cydia, but it is remotely possible that I did and forgot. I would try this method anyway as it can’t really hurt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJlJranjDlg The only thing I did different was to use my own custom .ipsw created with PwnageTool 4.01 rather then download the one referenced in the instructions. Please report back if this works or not and if you remember for sure if you had uploaded shsh files as I am curious about this part.

@SpankyM, This method makes use of the fact that your SHSH files for the iPhone OS 3.1.2 were stored at sauriks server … since this is the first time I need to jailbreak my 3GS (and stupid as I am I already upgraded to iOS 4 GM) there is no way for me to downgrade

So, I used the Spirit Jailbreak on the iPhone 3GS firmware 3.1.3; however, I would like to upgrade the firmware to the new iOS 4.0. Do I have to uninstall and get rid of Cydia? Somebody mentioned to use the system restore when the iPhone is syncing to iTunes v. 9.2 in order to get back to the manufacturing settings. However, I know two people who have their IPhone 3GS 3.1.3 firmware busted up bc iTunes wants to update to iOS4 and then do the restore or something like that. Really confused. In other words, how do I upgrade my jailbroken iPhone 3GS firmware 3.1.3 to the iOS 4 without getting a busted phone? Any comments and opinions will do. PS, I bought my iPhone 3 weeks before the announcement of the iPhone 4.

@Jay, I had a 3.1.3 jailbroken with Spirit. In order to get a jailbroken iOS 4, I downgraded to 3.1.2, jailbreak with Redsn0w and then Pwnagetool on 4.0.

Actually, to answer my own stupid question. I saw a couple of Youtube videos showing a way to uninstalling Cydia about 10 minutes after posting my problem. After uninstalling Cydia, I plugged in the iPhone 3GS to iTunes v. 9.2, hit the update button. I was able to update from firmware 3.1.3 to 4.0 just fine. Now, I have the option of jailbreaking the 4.0 firmware. If anybody ever has the same issue that I posted above, I recommend going to Youtube. Thanks for your help anyways, Federico.

Now that I have the new iPhone I want to give my 3G to my wife who is on T-mobile. I gather that I need to jailbreak and unlock, but before I do this I have a few questions that I hope someone will answer for me:
1. Can a jailbroken iphone still install all the normal legal apps found in itunes app store? If yes, do I find them on Cydia or Installer?
2. Can the jailbroken iphone be run on a computer that is hosting a non-jailbroken iphone with iTunes installed?
Thanks!

Federico Viticci Reply:

@Kalt, Sure. A jailbroken gets the possibility to install apps from Cydia, but it is a "normal" iPhone for anything else.
Just one thing: jailbreak and unlock are two different things.
[Reply]
Kalt Reply:
June 27th, 2010
@Federico Viticci, Thanks. I read that with 3.1.3 or 4.0 you need to jailbreak before you can unlock. My real goal is unlocking, not the other benefits of jailbreaking. Do I need to buy more software to unlock after jailbreaking?
Also to clarify you comment, do I still use itunes to download "normal" iphone apps with a jailbroken app?
Thanks again

Following workflow worked flawlessly on my 3GS old bootrom:
1. 3.1.3 jailbroken with Spirit
2. updated to official ios 4.0( couldn’t wait )
3. Restored to 3.1.2 using altered etc/HOSTS file
4.jailbroke 3.1.2 with blackra1n
5. upgraded to ios 4 using Pwnage tools 4.01 ( error 1604 appeared with DFU mode. Recovery mode worked just fine)
6.unlocked the newest baseband 05.13.04 using ultrasn0w 0.93
Winterboard, SBsettings, Activator, Terminal are still buggy and it’s better to wait for better releases before installing them.
OpenSSH, Natatalk, Install0us word fine.

Arman Reply:

@Ivan, Unfortunately NO
iTunes doesn’t let you restore or downgrade to anything other than the latest firmware(in this case 4.0) by connecting to apple servers and "signing" the up/downgrade.
However, if you have previously jailbroken your phone on 3.1.3 or 3.1.2 and installed cydia on it, it have probably saved a file specific to your phone on a server, which you can use to trick iTunes and make it allow you to downgrade.
In your case, you’ll have to wait for a new tool like blackra1n or Spirit to release for iOS 4.

@Arman,
I have a 3GS and I tried doing something similar. I am on 3.1.2 already. JB and unlocked. I used snowbreeze to get a modified .ipsw file.
Everytime I try upgrading with the file using itunes, I get a 1604 error. I tried putting the phone in DFU mode, it doesn’t works. It always goes to recovery mode.
Is there a way to do this?

@Arman, I think that I am in the same boat as you are. I had jailbroken my iPhone 3GS with blackra1n on 3.1.2 with saved SHSHs Blobs. I installed an app on Cydia that caused my phone to go into a frozen boot screen, and restored to iOS4. After I restored, I edited hosts files and was able to downgrade to 3.1.2 and re – jailbreak. This is where I am now, replying to your post on my iPhone 3GS 3.1.2 jailroken using blackra1n and unlocked using ultrasn0w. So I would like to upgrade to iOS4. I am starting to like it now, the multitasking and other features can come in handy and look prett nice. How do I jailbreak and unlock my device on iOS4? Do I use this guide? Can you or anyone else email me some instructions? Thankyou SO much.

You can only JB and unlock a 3GS right now if you have old iBoot (359) *and* you have SHSH blobs on file with Cydia servers (meaning you have jailbroken this phone previously) If not, sorry you have to wait.

ok half the people here seem really confused because you’re all talking about. People are saying, "Wow, I unlocked my 3GS iOS 4.0, amazing!"
Why not state something like this:
3G(S) iOS [4.0 / 4.0.1]
Previous iOS [3.1.2 / 3.1.3]
[MB or MC]
[Previously/Not Previously Jailbroken]
iTunes Version [9.2 Final / Beta ]
Then put the steps you use:
I downgraded using [insert software]
I downgraded by [using previously stored SHSH,downloaded software from 'www.URL.com']
This way people don’t go through an entire restore process to find out everything was the same, except you had a previously jailbroken phone, or you have the old bootloader, or you saved your 3.1.2 / 3.1.3 before you upgraded.
There is a community of people looking for help, and if we all just clearly stated, what we did and how we did it and complete accurate stats, there wouldn’t be so much confusing information being thrown around.

@khrystyna, check your email.
And to anyone else that reads this. Google, "Dev Team". They’re responsible for the new jailbreak. Make sure you donate when you get it working – these guys bust their asses so we can benefit.
Jailbreak worsk for 4.0 & 4.0.1 firmware / iphone 3gs (old & NEW bootram) and Iphone 4. Enjoy.
Oh and if anyone knows how to get the "Make My Life Easier" option back in Cydia – please reply to this. I screwed up and accidentally release my finger when scrolling and had my finger on the wrong option.

@Jalwardi, (what is wrong with peopel that they think we can read minds). Who are you talking to, what message are you refering to, what application are you talking about?
Where to find the jailbreak app? You have to READ. People will help but they’re not going to do it for you.
QUOTE FROM http://blog.iphone-dev.org/
"The return of jailbreakme.com!
jailbreakme.com is back!
Thanks to some serious work by @comex, you can now jailbreak your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad right from MobileSafari — no PC or Mac needed!
Just visit http://jailbreakme.com on your device.
For those needing a carrier unlock, use the existing ultrasn0w in Cydia on your iPhone3G or iPhone3GS. After a short testing period, we’ll push out the iPhone4 version.
Note: The earlier MMS and Facetime issues have been fixed. If you already ran the version with those problems, launch Cydia and accept its offer to update."

Hi! so… i loved this post!, just that i used windows and for windows sn0wbreeze is out. to custom make your ipsw up-to ios 4.0. I read in some posts that it will soon be out for 4.0.1.
Regardless…
I realized after almost a week of trying to upgrade my iphone that i followed the steps wrong…
So… voilà my experience:
-updated 3Gs with itunes to 4.0
->afterward i could not restore with custom ipsw
(you will be getting some 16xx error on itunes when you try to restore. Deleting the iphone software update folder did not work for me.)
solution:
-put your phone on dfu mode
-restore to 3.1.2 (use shift + restore to select 3.1.2 ipsw)
-jailbreak phone with blackra1n
(you can stop here if you want to keep your phone on 3.1.2)
-prepare your custom ipsw either with sn0wbreeze (windows) or pwnagetool (mac)
-put your phone on restore mode
-press shift + restore and select your custom ipsw
-be patient…
and TADA! you got your iphone back with ios 4
to unlock you can use ultrasn0w, add to cydia sources http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com

@Iqbal, if you upgrade to 4.0 or 4.0.1 all you have to do to jailbreak is go to jailbreakme.com no i am not spamming. its the easiest jailbreak in the world simply because you dont even need a computer to do the jailbreak just your iDevice. if u don’t believe me look up videos on youtube and guides.EASIEST JAILBREAK OUT THERE FOR ANY iDEVICE RUNNING ON IOS4 (4.0,4.0.1)

NEW JAILBREAK METHOD IS OUT! It works on all generation iPod touch and iPhone including iPhone 4! if your iDevice is running on firmware 4.0 or 4.0.1 just go to jailbreakme.com (made by Comex) on your device and just slide the bar on the imitated lock screen and your iDevice will begin to download cydia. when you’re done cydia will be on your homescreen. don’t believe me? i’ve already used this website to jailbreak my stepdad’s iphone 3g and my iphone 3gs. still don’t believe me? look up videos on youtube or look up guides, there is proof that this website works. comment here after using this method to help spread the word

@Mike, Yes. I have the 3GS MC model. I broke it the first day they have the jailbreak for it. It works. Make sure when you get done loading Cydia, you choose "Make My Life Easier" it will store your SHSH incase you have to re-jailbreak your phone in the future.
Also, turn off upgrades in iTunes. Also, be careful. I pulled mine in and got a message,"iTunes needs to verify the carrier settings on your device" – click cancel. Have a nice day.

I’ve got a 3gs old bootrom that I’ve been trying to upgrade to 4.0.1 or 4.0.2 jb with Pwnagetool, but I keep getting a 1600/1604 error. I’ve reinstalled iTunes, swapped usb ports, and tried rebuilding the software package to no avail. I’ve even tried jailbreakme.com on the stock 4.0.1, but it keeps crashing out.
I then found that I couldn’t rollback the jailbroke 4.0 firmware I had loaded previously, getting the same 160x error. I was, though, able to restore to the stock 4.0 and use jailbreakme.com to jailbreak it.
I’ve also tried redsn0w, with no success.
Anyone have any suggestions, or am I SOL for now?
